Abstract:		 A scheme of archaeological monitoring, control and recording took place during the replacement of overhead power lines with underground services across the Scheduled Ancient Monument of St. Mary's Priory. This includes the remains of the medieval priory of St Mary, Greenfield, a Cistercian nunnery founded before 1153 and dissolved in 1536; the remains consist of a moat enclosing a raised platform and other earthworks. The site is currently occupied by Greenfield Farm. The List Entry Description for the monument notes that the priory of St Mary, Greenfield, has never been excavated archaeologically; later remains largely overlie, rather than cut into, earlier deposits, and finds of building material beneath the present farmhouse, and the survival of earthworks in the adjacent paddock, indicate the preservation of below-ground features. The results were largely negative; the archaeological monitoring revealed little in the way of identifiable medieval activity, and material finds were limited to a 19th century brick wall and three possible ditches along with two sherds of medieval pottery.
